Anyone know of a handbrake setup that isn't too hard to fit?

If you can get hold of a buggered UC, just cut the tunnel section out where the handbrake mounts and the cables go through the floor and weld it in.

I have a wreked commodore i might cut the hand-brake out of. It mounts under the tunnel, just have to see of it will miss the g-box

The engine in the half-cut has a rear sump, might see if i can get away with a slight x-menber mod.

The "rear" soarer sump actually sits too far forward. Don't modify your X member - Purchase an alloy sump rail or drawings. ABC laser cutters in Carrum downs has the dimensions from opne of their customers who will charge about $200 for a thick rail from memory including the rear bellhousing plate. His ebay and Lextreme user name is elliotaw. Grab a spare engine block - (stripped down preferably) turn it upside down. Fit the bellhousing. Bolt up the rail and rear plate ( you'll probably have to change a few bolt access methods. There are a few sump bolts that actually are accessed frm the removable oil pan on your model. Set your new pan up so they are external bolts. You may need to weld wide pipe over the top of the bolt holes to give tunnel access for sockets. You will defineately have to do this for some of the rear rail bolts. You wont have much pan xmember clearance below 1234 piston area. You'll probably have to make the sump very wide to ensure enough volume and under car clearance. (make sure it doesn't sit any lower than a standard torana sump and you'll be right. Only weld the sump after while it's fitted to the block and bellhousing. Make sure the correct factory torque spec. and sequence is used (same theory as cylinder head sequencing) This will ensure bare minimal warping of the sump. If you do it any where else it will bend/twist heaps. There are no one I have found that do an off the shelf sump that uses all of the bellhousing bolts. Hadfield and Quad Cams Australia's reasoning was "we've never seen any break yet so why use the 7th and 8th bolts"

Yeah, it dont fit.
Would need too much taken out of the x-member.
Going to mod the CRS one (again), but going to use 3mm plate for streangth. and include a wing on the left side to mount the low oil sensor and dipstick.
